Default Change text entry to sort accurately

Jim, at present the text I want to change is in Col B. If I insert a helper
column to the right of it, and put your formula in it, will new text appear
in place of the old, or should I insert a second helper column to display the
new data?

My column: Would like:

08-10 08-010
08-100 08-100
07-90 07-090
07-888 07-888

How do I add another 0 to change 08-10 to 08-010?
